Emperor of Arcane

Matthew blinked slightly at Aini, but didn't do anything immediately.

He immediately completed the layout and activation of the underground laboratory.

Various isolation arrays kept lighting up,

A Dragon Cavalry No. 1 golem emerged from the teleportation array.

This raid gave Matthew some good inspiration.

For the defense layout of the Cole Elf Kingdom troops, using more small and short channel structures can achieve quite good results.

No matter how the Cole elves develop.

Its roots will not change.

The Cole Elf warriors who are weak in strong attack ability, even with the help of combat puppets and golems.

In this small and short passage.

Advancing operations will definitely lead to greater losses.

The enemy has such a flaw, so Matthew naturally has to take advantage of it.

Why kick the lame man's feet in anger...

Grab the painful foot and pinch it hard...

You have to make some preparations for Cole Elf’s possible back-up plan!

Of course, this is just a means of prevention.

More importantly, you have to make yourself stronger.

The stronger the Gulf Territory becomes, the greater the deterrent it will be to the Cole elves.

Huge construction machinery is constantly transforming the underground area.

Aini looked at the excavation area and smelting plant not far away, staring at the shiny krypton gold ore, and asked softly in anticipation:

"In the future, the Krypton Gold Fortress will mainly develop underground areas? Or will it be outer buildings?"

Matthew thought about the future situation of the dark forest and shook his head slightly.

Three years later, two more half-planes will appear in the Dark Forest.

Counting the mechanical plane that I have never been exposed to before.

This area of ​​the light and dark forest.

There are at least 3 demi-planes that can be developed!

This is an amazing wealth!

It is also the nutrition and foundation for the Gulf Territory to move forward after the elemental tide breaks out.

The Krypton Gold Fortress as a development center.

In the future, we can not only rely on the strengthening of krypton gold to attract many adventurers.

It can also become an important base for the development of multiple demiplanes.

The huge business opportunities brought about by this will definitely make this place prosperous and develop.

“The ground must be ready for development, and the underground world must also be prepared.”

"Of course, the tasks in the underground world are heavier."

"The tide of elements is about to appear, and the effects it will bring will definitely affect the emergence of many rare minerals."

"For these rare minerals, we must not only develop them well, but also carefully protect them."

Matthew remembered that there was a crucial demiplane that had cornerstone and foundation-level technology comparable to "Mithra's core manufacturing technology."

Small-scale mineral cultivation and development technology!

This special technology is to cultivate and develop small-scale minerals.

A powerful technology that can increase the reserves of small mineral veins, expand their scale, and improve their quality.

With this kind of technology, the Gulf Territory cannot say that there is no shortage of production resources, but it can definitely be self-sufficient for a long time.

Moreover, by using this special technology to transform some rare resource veins with low yield and high value, the Gulf Territory can also make a lot of money.

"Unfortunately, that place is too dangerous."

Matthew smacked his lips regretfully and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​exploring it.

Reality is different from games after all.

Some of the strategies in the game can be used as a reference in general directions, but accepting them in detail is tantamount to nonsense.

Aini, who was next to her, looked at the warning coming from the wristband and said in disbelief:

"The blood-rage troll attacks!"

"And they haven't changed anything..."

No siege equipment was carried.

No strong elite troops were sent.

No tactical operations or arrangements were made.

A total of 500,000 blood-wrathed trolls!

Just follow the previous arrangement and fight all the way over.

Alice rubbed her brows with emotion, feeling a slight sting in her chest.

She knew that it was not physical pain, but a subtle psychological effect.

This situation is not difficult to resolve.

As long as some time passes, the stinging pain will slowly subside.

Alice has extensive experience with this and has become adept at making adjustments.

She was sizing up the blood-rage trolls coming from afar, suppressing her inner suspicion, and carefully arranged the attack order:

"The dwarf artillery suppresses it and extends three rounds of fire to the rear!"

"The magic cannon is ready..."

"Civil engineers reinforce trenches..."

"..."

Alice is not the only one whose battle orders are conservative.

Commanders in other directions also do the same thing.

Be careful when sailing a ship that lasts ten thousand years, let alone fighting a war.

For the enemy's special situation, they need more information and intelligence.

They must make timely adjustments to the combat plan based on various feedback after the battle.

Such is the fighting style of the Gulf Territory.

Although we are not afraid of sacrifice, we will not let others die casually.

Boom!

Boom!

The red cannonballs flew far away, constantly "lighting up" the dark forest.

The violent explosion instantly tore apart the charging troll.

The terrifying impact immediately cleared a large area.

The charging trolls' eyes widened.

The red eyes exuded a strange light.

They were mumbling words.

If you listen carefully, it seems to be a meaningless wailing, giving people an extremely weird feeling.

However, so many weird trolls can obey the command to attack and use various weapons and equipment, which makes people even more "creepy".

Hundreds of thousands of fearless "troll zombies" attacking at the same time will give most armies a headache.

Fortunately, the Gulf Territory's attacks have always been simple and unpretentious!

The overwhelming saturation firepower exploded indiscriminately, sifting through most of the trolls that rushed over.

If the remaining trolls continue to rush forward, they will enter the range of the magic artillery.

Alice observed the various battle data fed back and confirmed that the troll's advancement speed was not outrageous.

She checked again to see if the energy supply of the magic cannon was sufficient.

After getting an accurate answer from logistics, she issued the "fire coverage" order without hesitation.

Just like what the instructors trained by the Gulf Territory Commander said when giving instructions to the Adventurer Commander.

If you are poor, you will use tactics to intersperse them; if you are rich, you will bombard them with artillery!

When there is artillery support.

It is necessary to maximize its lethality and kill the enemy's vitality.

This will not only achieve better combat results, but also better protect your own safety.

After all, Gulf Territory operations have always been about maximizing the use of advantages.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of gunfire one after another immediately spread throughout the dark forest.

Laura, who had just joined the battlefield, saw the movements of the excited artillerymen next to her.

He skillfully manipulated the magic artillery to raise the muzzle, adjust the parameters, and then make minor changes.

Then he can relax for a while.

Once the "order" comes, you can start firing.

The whole process was much simpler than Laura imagined.

But it was precisely because of this "simplicity" that made Laura feel worried.

Such a simple yet powerful weapon.

Very suitable for human use and play.

Humans are numerous and the population is growing at an alarming rate.

The development of civilization and technology has also accelerated in recent years.

Especially the ideas and ability to accept new things are much better than the Cole elves.

This unprecedented fighting method has already given Laura a considerable shock.

However, the surrounding human adventurers were able to adapt quickly.

They are even recording and discussing under the guidance of Gulf Territory combatants.

They wanted to see if they could invent a more efficient way to fire and use artillery.

Such energy and determination to keep moving forward really put Laura under a lot of pressure.

There is no way, seeing that the strength of the Gulf Territory is getting stronger and better every moment.

Laura always has such worries.

"attack!"

The crisp command reached Laura’s ears.

She immediately lit the fire and turned to look at her watch.

After the roar of the explosion came.

After only a few seconds, the coordinates of the next artillery fire were transmitted on the watch.

It only took Laura three or four seconds to adjust the angle and data on the magic cannon.

Then, she can wait for the next attack order to arrive.

Laura had already made up her mind before she decided to join the adventurer battle sequence.

Since the overall situation is difficult to change, she must select a larger number of "adventurers" to join the Gulf Territory's combat sequence.

The worry just now only made Laura strengthen her belief.

Just like the dozen Cole Elf adventurers brought by Laura.

They are also quickly learning and adapting to the use of magic artillery.

The effect was not bad, which comforted Laura a little.

Just when Laura thought that this fighting situation would continue until the end of the battle.

The magic artillery unit, which fired nearly five rounds, soon received the marching order to "retreat backwards."

Laura had "expectations" in her heart.

I hope that this temporary team of adventurers will not perform well, so I can feel relieved.

I hope the Gulf Territory’s solution will inspire and alert her.

This is naturally a contradiction, and it is also what Laura wants to know exactly and understand deeply.

Laura knew that any "retreat" order would cause greater turmoil in the entire combat force.

If one mistake is not made well, it is very likely that the entire team will be in chaos or even collapse.

The solution provided by the Gulf Territory was much simpler than Laura thought.

An image map appeared on her watch.

The image map uses a conspicuous green color to mark her retreat route and location.

It is also explained in words above.

It can even change in real time as she moves.

The combination of images and text shows the entire retreat process and commands very clearly.

Even beside her route, light yellow lines were specially used to mark the routes of other friendly forces.

Such a simple and easy-to-operate command gave Laura a great shock.

She looked at the seemingly inconspicuous watch in her hand.

Think of the various arrangements made by Bay collar with its watch, and its extremely amazing effects and control capabilities.

Use everything, include everything, check everything.

While Laura was thinking, she had successfully completed the retreat mission.

After everyone had retreated, the artillery unit commander immediately assisted the artillerymen in re-arranging the artillery and adjusting the firing positions in a timely manner.

"The artillery must be placed in place and tested and calibrated at least three times."

"Cannons that have failed calibration cannot be fired."

"However, there is no need to worry. If there is no shooting, you can wait for the next round before taking action."

"Even if we don't stop the troll, the other party will not cause us any threats or trouble."

"The scouts and cleanup troops will stop them in advance, and the dragon warriors will also be in front of us."

"Many combat troops are escorting us..."

The commander's words were softer and more official.

This also allowed most adventurers who were trying it for the first time to gradually adapt.

Some experienced adventurers soon began to "joke".

"That's right, don't worry, our task is very simple and easy."

"Listen to orders, fire, and adjust. Push the artillery forward and retreat. Mission accomplished!"

"Hahaha, the operation is indeed simple, but don't think that the effect of our work is simple."

"We are a high-tech combat position. Others want it, but they can't get it..."

Seeing that the new adventurers were becoming interested, the commander felt that their skills were good and they had potential that could be exploited. He coughed and then warned:

"This is indeed the case. Your ability to be assigned to this position is related to your previous study and assessment results."

"Only the batch with better results will be selected here."

"This position of ours is not only safe, but the income we earn is also quite good."

"Of course, everyone must continue to study. The better the shooting skills you master in the future, the higher the subsidies and bonuses will be."

The adventurers who had tasted quite a lot of sweetness did not spare any attention to the new adventurers.

Instead, they were quite talkative and eager to continue cooperating with these teammates who cooperated well.

"Hahaha, you are right to follow Zhang Tou. He has led us to earn thousands of gold coins."

"Zhang Tou is currently taking the exam for the level 5 command certificate. He will be able to lead large troops in the future."

"Hehe, we can also follow Zhang Tou."

"How about just walking together? We can also become commanders!"

"Don't even think about it. The coordinate adjustment you just made was wrong three times."

"Hahaha, if you are not suitable to be a gunner, you can also consider other combat positions..."

"That's true. The Gulf Territory usually doesn't force others to do anything."

"However, their recommendations are also very good, and the recommended positions are basically accessible to everyone."

"That's true. Everyone has come to the right place for adventure in the Gulf Territory. Not to mention how comfortable it will be in the future."

Many adventurers experienced this kind of battle for the first time.

Listening to the discussion and bragging between the gunner and the commander, the originally nervous and confused thoughts completely calmed down.

Especially the impression of the Gulf Territory gave everyone a novel feeling.

You don't have to work hard to lick the blood with the tip of a knife, but you can actually make money. This adventure is a bit "exciting".

Laura checked the status of her "minions" and found that they had integrated quite quickly, so she felt relieved for the time being.

She was flipping through the Magic Cannon Advanced Operation Manual while becoming familiar with the various functions on the Magic Cannon.

She put aside other thoughts and ideas for the time being, focusing on experiencing the basics of being an adventurer in the Gulf Territory.

Vaguely, she heard Zhang Tou's rather surprised voice again:

"Aren't these trolls too afraid of death?"

"Just rushing forward like this?"

"Everyone, stop being idle, you can continue firing!"

Zhang Tou quickly made minor adjustments to various artillery firings based on the intelligence coming from above, and then sent the data to the big guys.

He watched the clumps of magic flames flying out, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and muttered as Laura listened:

"Oh my, if these trolls die too quickly, where will I get my achievements and command battle time?"

Another "madman" who only thinks about fighting!

Such thoughts suddenly emerged in Laura’s mind.

But she knew very well and understood why the adventurers thought so.

Isn’t it good to be alive?

Of course it’s good to be alive!

But every "person" wants to live a better life!

Not only do you want to live a better life for yourself, but you also want to live a better life for your relatives and future generations.

This is everyone's simple wish.

This is true for humans, and it is true for elves as well.

A considerable number of Laura's subordinates have "joined" the "adventurers" in the Gulf Territory.

Deep in their hearts, they still have many "ideas".

But he is very serious about his pursuit of merit, the welfare of the Gulf Territory, and various weapons and equipment.

Laura watched these "adventurers" integrate into the Gulf Territory step by step, and gradually became one of them.

Laura did not interfere much with the situation of these "adventurers".

In her opinion, she learned a lot by watching this process of change.

Of course, Laura was also surprised and wary of the special "educational" ability of the Gulf Territory.

This is also the reason why she did not contact these "adventurers" again.

Now, Laura decided to go out in person to explore more methods and secrets, and also wanted to take the initiative to understand the mysteries.

Judging from the situation in the past few days, the harvest is indeed very great.

Laura could feel personally that the Gulf Territory valued these adventurers.

Not only does it provide many benefits, it also provides very good development conditions.

Laura originally thought that the welfare of the Gulf Territory for adventurers was the process of absorbing them into the Gulf Territory.

This is indeed true, but the "combat rewards" offered by the Gulf Territory to the adventurers made Laura's eyes light up.

Let her find a gap in the Gulf Territory's nearly perfect "welfare system" that could be exploited.

This made Laura a little hesitant and worried, and she gradually felt relieved.

The current Gulf Territory is in the stage of development.

Inspiring these soldiers and adventurers to be so "warlike".

The Gulf Territory also manages the household well and fights well.

It can make them stronger and stronger, and they can also earn a lot in battle.

The virtuous cycle thus formed has in turn created the strong strength of the Gulf leaders and adventurers.

The excellence of their battles was obvious to all across the northern continent.

Even the Cole Elf Kingdom is unwilling to take the initiative to send troops and directly provoke them.

But with the continuous expansion and development of the Gulf Territory, the land in the northern continent will one day be completely occupied.

By that time, there will definitely be no land and resources available for expansion for them to carry out such a "super high welfare" battle.

Gulf Territory combat troops who cannot provide "super high remuneration" will inevitably have fluctuations in their fighting will and ideas.

Maybe, the army that cannot give up this kind of gains and interests will continue to push the entire Gulf Territory and continue to advance in the direction of crazy fighting.

The entire Gulf Territory will also be kidnapped by these "combat lunatics".

By that time, the Gulf leaders will become more and more "courageous".

If the Gulf Territory does not take action against the surrounding forces and territories now, the future may not be certain.

Once the Gulf Territory causes panic among other forces, it will frighten the surrounding forces and territories.

Life in the Gulf Territory will not be as easy as it is now.

"Perhaps, the Gulf Territory's future resource investment will be devoted to larger wars."

"With a huge territory, frequent fighting everywhere, and people who no longer have access to welfare and benefits, will the people still support the Gulf Territory as they do now?"

"The more bellicose you are, the faster it will be destroyed..."

Such a development trajectory is not unprecedented.

Laura herself had seen three such examples with her own eyes.

Thinking of this, more thoughts emerged in Laura's mind.

"Maybe I can give Bay Leader a boost in this regard!"

"That way, I can safely integrate into the Gulf Territory."

“The better I perform, the more people I inspire.”

“The more wins I have, the more benefits I get.”

"As my status becomes higher and my influence becomes greater, I will be able to influence more soldiers and adventurers."

"At that time, the distribution and entanglement of interests will definitely open a huge gap in the middle of the Gulf Territory!"

"The distribution of interests is an excellent weapon for division!"

The more Laura thought about it, the more she thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more likely she felt that her plan would succeed.

It may not be successful now, but it will definitely be effective in the future.

While Laura was fighting for the Gulf Territory, she was thinking about how to dig a hole for the Gulf Territory.

In the Gulf Territory Combat Command Center, they have been calculating the losses of these trolls.

"In less than an hour of fighting, 50,000 trolls have died?"

"Did they deliver it too fast? Something feels wrong."

"Whatever their plans are, we just have to fight ours."

"Although the battle lines are retreating, as long as we can keep this distance, we can keep pressing them."

"Send more scouts to explore the rear and sides."

"Let the flying dragon troops look forward and try to launch a surprise attack."

"You really need to see what the blood-rage troll is up to? This "human head" scares me..."

"..."

Regarding the blood-rage troll's behavior of giving away people's heads, the big guys in the command center did not show much happiness, but were more cautious and vigilant.

There is no way, they have seen too many weird attack methods.

When I encounter an enemy who cooperates so much to "send death", I always feel panicked.

Fortunately, everyone has quite a lot of combat experience.

Even if the other party comes to "send death", he has a special and insidious plan.

When it's time to strike, he will be merciless.

Time passed gradually.

More and more trolls fell, and the number had exceeded 70,000 to 80,000.

Everyone gradually saw the clues.

These guys really came here to give away "heads."

And there is absolutely no rules at all.

They were even more "tough-headed" than the orc army that had been charging ahead.

Ji Fan, who had seen the strange monsters in the underground world of the Death Desert, did not hesitate to make deeper guesses.

"These trolls may indeed be here to die."

"But maybe sending someone to death is one of their goals?"

"Such as sacrifices, such as evil rituals, such as lifting seals..."

Matthew was in the Gulf Territory when he was gradually strengthening the consciousness and thinking training of everyone including soldiers, dragon warriors, and adventurers.

They have gradually been trained and educated on the various enemies, dangers, disasters and handling methods that will appear in future natural disasters.

Matthew works on the future, and everyone has ideas now.

These trolls in front of them clearly showed "something wrong" compared to normal combat.

When normal thinking can no longer understand them, other aspects of thinking are naturally indispensable.

Jifan's statement.

It immediately aroused everyone's interest.

They first reported their doubts about this discussion.

The combat troops controlled by the command center currently do not have professionals in this field.

Naturally, they have to ask the territory to come forward and hire more professional personnel to investigate and deal with it.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Then, they began to discuss using their own methods to collect more information and arrange for more data verification.

"Anyway, you were brought here to die..."

"In order not to waste everyone's good intentions, we will use a bolder combat method to test..."

"You guys don't have any objections, right?"

"If the troll reacts differently, it must have exposed some intentions and ideas..."

This is also part of information gathering.

Soon, various "tests" from the Gulf leaders followed one after another.

The dragon knights flew over the heads of the troll army to explore the location of the commander of the blood-rage trolls.

Without skill, the advancing head of the troll below can be dazzling.

However, the dragon knights have trained special skills and have auxiliary scanning of combat helmets.

They can always easily find those with irregular movements and special "reporting personnel".

Now, they have several more targets to choose from.

Not only were there ordinary commanders, but they also began to pay attention to some particularly strange beings.

For example, the troll barbarians are obviously oversized.

For example, there are altars placed among the piles of corpses.

Another example is an area with weird energy reactions.

Everything has its traces.

The dragon knights are looking for it.

With the combination of the skills of the dragon knights, the dragon's excellent sense of smell, and the magic props.

They quickly found several dangerous areas.

There were at least ten areas where bodies gathered in large numbers.

The energy response is also abnormal.

There is also more protective power.

Especially the 5-6 meter tall troll barbarians, there are dozens of them everywhere.

The dragon knights did not act rashly, but marked these areas and reported them along the way.

After understanding the situation, the command center quickly reported the information to the Gulf Territory.

"Deliberately sending a large number of trolls to their deaths?"

"Sacrifice?"

Matthew, who was quite interested in this, simply looked at the fluctuations in the power of destiny and gave corresponding opinions.

“Fuck them!”

Matthew spoke, and everyone in the command center discussed it.

After seeing the experts sent by the Gulf Leader, they immediately arranged for combat deployment.

The Gulf Territory's command operations will not be relatively isolated.

The combat orders of various units were closely linked together.

The artillery troops moved forward, temporarily closing the distance with the opponent to test the Bloodrage Troll.

The blood-rage troll still showed no reaction.

The dragon knights took action to cover.

Dragon warriors teleport raids at fixed points.

"Since you are unmoved, let it hurt you until you have to move."

Boom!

The flying dragon knights in the sky acted decisively first and dropped powerful fire oil bombs one after another.

A raging fire ignited a large pile of corpses.

The greedy explosion flames blasted holes one after another.

In the blink of an eye, thick smoke billowed from the dark forest.

Faced with this seemingly light temptation.

Large swaths of flying monsters emerged from the hiding place in the dark forest.

They are numerous, distorted in appearance, and come in groups.

As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards the flying dragon knights.

There was a sharp roar, which seemed very arrogant.

Feilong was naturally quite unhappy with the appearance of these flying monsters.

If it had been before, they would have swooped down without hesitation.

The flying dragons will not stop until they are all killed.

Now, they must obey the orders of the Dragon Knight and cooperate to fight together.

This will not only ensure their safety, but also gain more achievements and combat results.

The dragons are also growing.

It’s not just size and fighting prowess.

And the wisdom they originally lacked.

However, in the face of sudden changes, the flying dragon knights did not flinch.

They allowed these flying monsters to gather and then took the initiative to climb upwards.

They flew upwards, with flying enemies chasing them below.

Soon, the flying monsters spread out unconsciously due to their different speeds.

The flying monsters rushing at the front are generally larger in size.

They are stronger, more explosive, and more ferocious in nature.

But it fell in the eyes of the flying dragon knights.

These guys just deliver the goods.

"Do it!"

"The small team will go first."

As soon as the order came, five flying dragon knights controlled the flying dragon and fell down.

Instead of approaching for close combat, they turned on their flamethrowers.

Violent flames spurted out, greedy tongues of fire instantly ignited the wings of these flying monsters.

These ferocious monsters screamed and fell downwards.

The other flying monsters seemed to have not seen it and continued to howl in pursuit.

"They are indeed brainless idiots."

"Stop the second and third teams and light a fire for them."

The commander of the flying dragon knights sneered and sent more flying dragon knights to turn around and give them a warm "welcome".

More than a dozen violent tongues of fire gathered in the air and turned into a terrifying whirlpool of flames, constantly devouring the flying monsters that rushed up.

The flying monsters were also rushing to die like the trolls, rushing in all at once.

After a while, large swaths of flying monsters fell down, and the smell of burning filled the air.

After losing nearly half of the flying monsters, these flying monsters spread out to attack in waves of strange fluctuations.

Unfortunately, how can the flying monsters who have no numerical advantage be the opponent of the Flying Dragon Knight?

The flying dragon knights who formed a small team began to kill everyone.

The flamethrowers and the deadly breath of the flying dragons quickly slaughtered these flying monsters.

Waves of strange fluctuations continued to come from the dark forest below.

It makes people feel sick and uncomfortable, and also makes them wary and hostile.

The "black hand" below couldn't help but be exposed!
